Taiwan continues to prepare for a confrontation with mainland China, as Beijing does not intend to back down from its statements about the indivisibility of China. Taipei is urgently arming itself, not only buying American, mainly weapons, but also developing its own. According to the South China Morning Post, a new extended-range cruise missile was tested on the island.

The Zhongshan Institute of Science and Technology of Taiwan has tested a new cruise missile capable of reaching major cities of mainland China. The declared range of the new modification of the Hsiung Feng IIE missile (Xiongfeng 2E - "Strong Wind") is 1200 km, which is quite enough for strikes on cities on the coast and even in the depths of the territory of the People's Republic of China in the event of the outbreak of hostilities.

The new missile is capable of reaching major cities on the mainland, such as Qingdao on the east coast or Wuhan in central China.

- developers claim.

The details of the tests are not given, it is only emphasized that they were successful. The tested surface-to-surface cruise missile is a modification of the Hsiung Feng IIE extended-range anti-ship missile. The ships of the Taiwan Navy are armed with the Hsiung Feng II and Hsiung Feng III missile defense systems with a range of 160 and 130 km, respectively.

The Hsiung Feng IIE cruise missile has been developed since 2001 by the Zhongshan Institute of Science and Technology, the head research institute of the Weapons Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense of Taiwan. It is known from open sources that a 1-ton rocket has a 200 kg warhead. The control system is inertial + GPS receiver, the rocket is subsonic, the speed is Mach 0.85.
